Dr. Gottesfeld has been my doctor for more than 30 years. I was having some medical issues that went undiagnosed by my doctor at that time. A friend at my workplace recommended that I see her doctor, Dr. Gottesfeld. She had high praise for him and his abilities. He, very methodically did diagnose my problem and it was taken care of. Through the many years hes been my doctor, Ive been very… See more

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
I am on staff at Northern Westchester Hospital Center and Hudson Valley Hospital Center. With my new office conveniently located in Yorktown Heights less than 2 miles off the Taconic Parkway, I am able to serve the communities of Northern Westchester County (Yorktown Heights, Chappaqua, Armonk, Bedford, North Salem, Pound Ridge, Somers and Croton-on-Hudson) and Putnam County (Garrison, Cold Spring and Mahopac.)
My certification in Age Management Medicine has given me the opportunity to study nutrition and exercise - two areas in which I have particular interest. As a private doctor, I enjoy partnering with my patients and guiding them in a joint endeavor for better health. I am fluent in Spanish and German.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Gottesfeld
My husband and I became Dr. Gottesfeld's patients immediately after settling in North Salem., Being newcomers, who imigrated from Europe, we were, naturally, worried as we immigrated in our mid life term.
Dr.Gottesfeld exceeded any previous experience we had; be it in Europe or Israel, where I came from. He is most knowledgable, compassionate, hard working and devoted. I did not… See more

Dear Dr. Gottesfeld,
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and the good work you do.
I feel that I have someone on my side who knows me and understands my priorities.
The doctor you recommended for my prostate was excellent and just what I was hoping for.
It is so rewarding to know that I have a doctor who truly cares about me and my many ailments and… See more
While I believe many people feel anxious, or the visit to be a burden.
I find it relaxing, almost like a social visit.
This is because of the great confidence I have in Dr. Gottesfeld and his staff.
He and his staff are always very welcoming and personable.
Thank you Dr. Gottesfeld and your staff.

The Saturday before Christmas my 21 year old daughter came down with what ended up being a severe kidney infection. Thinking it was the flu I called Dr Gottesfelds office and was patched immediately to his cell phone.
Long story short, Dr G spent the rest of the afternoon speaking to me and texting me back and forth through our 6+ hour visit to the er. At one point he even said, cell… See more
I am a woman who came to Dr. Gottesfeld with so many things wrong with me. It has been an up hill battle for him. I get very frightened and worked up about so many things and he has been kind, generous with his time and truly there for me. I'm embarrassed to rely on him so much, but, I think his change to MDVIP has changed his outlook on practicing medicine. Today's Dr.'s are… See more
Basically we have loved working with Dr. Gottesfeld for over the past twenty years and would have remained with him as long as he stayed in practice. The wellness assessment was very interesting and helpful, but fortunately I have not required medical services much in my life thus far to truly warrant this level of medical availability.
